It is the reflection helping us to see things around us. The images we see in the mirror is just the Reflection |

| Reflection by curved mirror |
Refraction of light - The bending of light when it passes from one medium to another this property of light it is used in number of devices like microscope magnifying lens etc.
Total internal Reflection- When light travels from denser medium to rarer medium beyond certain

dispersion of light- the property of light where the white light splits into its constitutes seven colours is
Dispersion can be observed by prism. Rainbow natural phenomenon is the best example of
 |
scattering of light – Light rays get deviated from its straight path on striking dust or gas molecules,
Some effects are:
●Sun appears red in the morning but white at noon.
● Red colour used as danger signal
